The education that students receive from the MIT MechE Department prepares them for successful careers in their chosen field. Part of that educational process is about receiving the skills and information needed to succeed outside of the classroom, so that students are ready to face the challenges of the professional world.
Scalable nanopatterned surfaces designed by MIT researchers could make for more efficient power generation and desalination.
How do you build a wheelchair ready to blaze through mud and sand, all for under $200?
Jellyfish-inspired device that rapidly and efficiently captures cancer cells from blood samples could enable better patient monitoring.
MIT engineers have found a way to enhance the permeability of the skin to drugs, making transdermal drug delivery more efficient.
Scientists at MIT and the University of Pennsylvania are taking more than inspiration from nature — they’re taking ingredients.

This video shows a simulation of a vehicle driving on two types of off-road surfaces. One vehicle is on a flat, sloped surface, and the other vehicle is on a rough, sloped surface. It can be seen that the roughness causes one vehicle to rollover. Read more at the ...
This video demonstrates a robotic manipulator that is robust, high-force, low-cost, and highly articulated without employing traditional actuators mounted at the manipulator joints. Rather, local tunable stiffness is coupled with off-board spooler motors and ...
This video contains animations of the two simulation results described in a conference paper presented at ICRA 2010. The results show tip-up of a vehicle on a surface with two different friction coefficients. In the first simulation, the surface friction coefficient is ...

Students in Product Design (2.744) asked, "What if pencils could grow?"
Researchers have engineered a soft autonomous robot that moves via peristalsis, crawling across surfaces by contracting segments of its body, much like an earthworm.
A team of researchers at MIT has discovered a way to harness the wrinkling process in a controlled and orderly way.
